I'm finally back with a baking post, I made these for an after dinner treat a couple of months ago and just because I fancied something sweet to eat. The recipe I followed is a Mary Berry recipe and I will share the original recipe with you at the end.
Lets get baking!


Ingredients:
Cupcake
100 g butter, softened
100 g caster sugar
2 large eggs
100 g self raising flour
1 level tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Buttercream
175 g butter, softened
350 g icing sugar

Start off by pre-heating your oven to 200C/Fan 180C/gas 6 and line a 12-hole bun tin with bun cases.

Next put your butter and caster sugar into a large bowl and then cream together.

Next add 1 of your eggs and mix until combined, then add the 2nd egg and add the Vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Next add into the bowl the flour and baking powder and mix until the mixture is smooth and mixed well.

Now your mixture is ready to fill the bun cases with, once filled and mixture is all used, place into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and well risen. Once baked leave to cool.

Cut a slice from each bun and cut the slice in half for the butterfly wings and pop back with the buns for later.

Next it's time to make the buttercream, in a large bowl add the butter and icing sugar and mix well.

Pipe the buttercream into the hole of each bun and pipe round the rest of the bun. Place the half slices onto each bun to create the wings.

Now they're ready to enjoy.



I loved making this recipe, it's been a long time since I made some classic butterfly buns, I've also found recipe's to make orange and lemon butterfly buns which sound so tasty. It's such an easy recipe to follow and it's also a fun thing to bake together with your children.
If you would love to follow Mary Berry's recipe then head to Mary Berry's Butterfly Cakes.

How often do you bake the classics?
Let me know in the comments below.

See you soon!
